Argh!

Ever have a day when every first response you come up with would be too sarcastic for most people to deal with? When your tongue is sore from the constant need to bite it while you take a deep breath in order to stale long enough to form an acceptable response? Yeah, that was pretty much the majority of my day. Let me tell you, it’s very tiring.

Or maybe that’s because Harry’s decided we should get up at 2 AM. It’s a good thing he’s so cute. Unfortunately, he knows it. He used to be content waking me so I would pet him until he curled up and went to sleep. Now it’s non-stop walking on my face until I feed him. A long time since I absolutely refuse to do that before 4:30. Hey, it’s not cruel. My kitties are in no danger of starving no matter what they tell you. And they have dry food which they’re content to munch on between meals any other time. I’m hoping this isn’t the beginning of a new trend.

Okay, time to go have some cereal and relax. Perhaps I’ll find where Harry’s napping and poke at him until it’s time for bed.

Rambling

I was having a discussion with some coworkers today and at one point noticed they’d stopped talking and were staring at me with odd expressions. That’s when I realized I’d just told them how to make a shrunken head. In detail. The looks I got said they weren’t certain if I was speaking from actual hands-on experience or not.

Ever ask someone what you thought was a simple question and then have it mushroom out of control until everyone imaginable was involved, even those without any real cognizant input? Do you try to stop it before it spreads like ripples across the entire pond or sit back and watch in amazement, perhaps even stirring things up a bit when they start to settle? Today was an “add chaos” day for me. Why do people get so riled up for the wrong reasons?

Know any drama queens? How do you handle them? Do you play into whatever has them in such a tizzy or squash them like the silly bugs they are at the height of their latest tragedy? Though I tossed fuel on the benign question fire today I did some serious bug squashing. I just couldn’t help it. The latest BIG EVENT is completely uncalled for and has been going on for days now. Enough is enough. In the overall scheme of the universe it really does not matter and I’m tired of listening to it for hours every day. It’s casting a shadow over my perkiness and you all know how important it is to me to maintain that image.

Yes, it’s getting a bit deep here. I don’t have my boots so perhaps this would be a good point to quit. Hope your day had more Tao than mine.
